I believe I read that they wanted $395 for that gun. I just bought a used Remington 700 in .270 that's in great shape for $325.

Please understand....the 8MM mauser is truly powerful.....but it's NOT a .30-06......and will never be!!!!

The '98 mauser can be turned into a very fine sporter.....but if you start at $395.....I assure you that you'll be better off ordering a new almost anything. If your goal is to have a good and inexpensive hunting gun.....leave this gun to collectors of military rifles......It's way over priced for your purposes.
